Artists work in all media and genres including new media, painting, sculpture, ceramics and environmental art.
The Broken Hill Art Exchange provides a project manager for residents to assist with their art project and help them network with community, provide insight into Broken Hill and its surrounds and help coordinate logistics.
The facilities include artist studio spaces dedicated to visiting artists. They are fully self-contained and equipped. All studios are converted shop spaces, providing a warehouse style feel, with large open areas. The studios are well appointed and all linen is provided. There is ample work space as well as comfortable living quarters.
A meeting/conference room can be made available, as well as a large arts workshop space if artists wish to conduct community arts workshops. An exhibition space is also available.
The complex in total has 8 studios/shops, some with permanent artists in residence - creating a vibrant arts precinct with many opportunities for collaboration and inspiration, while maintaining a quiet and productive workspace. The complex has a Wi-Fi system in place, with one studio its own Apple iMac. The management office is also on site for artists' convenience.
